A spanner may have been thrown in Frank Ocean‘s creative works.
Find out why the ‘Solo‘ crooner has been slapped with copycat claims today below…
The star’s sophomore set ‘Blond’ was released to the world yesterday evening four years after the unveiling of his debut LP ‘Channel Orange.’
Alas, as Frank’s fans made their way to Apple Music to enjoy the release, fans of the up and coming artist TrapCry made their way to Instagram to point out something they believed was deeply problematic.
What it was?
Citing similarities between the album’s title, artwork, hair colour and pose as their cause for concern, Trap’s supporters received the following message from the artist after he caught wind of ‘Blond’s release.
Ocean is yet to respond to claims he sourced his concept from his peer, but did have this to say about his LP’s journey.
I had the time of my life making all of this,. Thank you all. especially those of you who never let me forget I had to finish. which is basically every one of ya’ll. haha. love you.
Two years ago I found an image of a kid with her hands covering her face.A seatbelt reached across her torso, riding up her neck and a mop of blonde hair stayed swept, for the moment, behind her ears. Her eyes seemed clear and calm but not blank, the road behind her seemed the same. I put myself in her seat then I played it all out in my head.
Damn that’s horrible he’s a theif smh
BOTH are Sisqo inspired chile….

well after waiting all this time this dude has done is copying trapcry and bee’s product concepts. gurl bye!
Madonna- blonde ambition ?
Had me readin this mess thinkin frank’s writing cred was in jeopardy
Gtfoh with this weak sauce
But the pose and hair? All a coincidence?
TrapCrys music is amazing… I love Frank but it does seem a lot similar…
Oh damn.
Damn!!! He really is friends with Beyonce. A messy chick who lives for drama!
Bryson scanned Gold yet son?
Bryson’s sales and live singing voice though. #FlatterThanAWitchesTitty
But the way Wildheart’s impact is set up….
I would say that it was a coincidence but…same title, same hair and same pose? What kind of Rihanna vs Fefe Dobson mess.
Reaching…
I’m glad this fraud has exposed himself, he will never be as good as Miguel and only gets the attention he does is because he came out.
Maybe Miguel should give it a try.
Sigh, hanging around the Carters I see.
Rhythm Nation (1980s?)
UK sales 300k
Aaliyah(2001) 300k
‘4closure’ (2011) 600k
TrapCry’s team for the score! Hope whoever that is can get some mileage for their music out of this and not just scandal. Haven’t listened to Frank but I hope it’s better than Endless…
What’s worse? Frank’s thievery or August’s wigs ?
The difference between Bryson’s sales and streams. Ding ding ding!!
First it was the visual album and now this…All I can say is that Yonce taught him well
I would stay and slay but I’m too busy laughing at ANTI’s sales. #howlowcanyougo
apparently as low as rock BOTTOM ask Frankeisha sis
In RIhanna’s “flop era” she has already outsold and outdid anything from channel ORANGE. Let’s keep it tha fu=ack cute sis
Bish where? It’s STILL in the top 10 of the Billboard. Where’s your fave…Right underneath Adele’s LAST album. Now FOH in my reply box
Gul sit down Anti is the s*** f*** what anyone has to say, they produced the hell out of that album!
You see what happens when you befriend Madame Lacefront?
Tamar called all lovers but they didn’t call back.
Frank still opening his legs to married men boo boo?
Yasss! Tamar got raptured by her tamartiants and they took her back to the planet she thought we had originated from when she lied and said she could sing live. That helfas face be screaming trying to stretch open so her vocals can hit them notes. If she sits down for about five years and let that play dough face settle back to normal she might be able to sang!
Let’s just be real. This is a REACH, has this guy trademakred dark skin men bleaching their hair? if not lets keep it moving.
You would be pro stealing ideas wouldn’t you. Has Rihanna ever thanked Gertrude the Goat for inspiring her vocal stylings? Keep your opinions to yourself. Your fave’s dance moves are stiffer than Vodka on the rocks so we cannot Trust and Believe in what you say.
and frank’s concept for his rollout and the Boys Cry Magazine should show how different the two are, let;s not even discuss the disparity between the caliber of their music.
Stop being messy Samantha et al
You Stan for Rihanna so I wouldn’t expect you to know how to review art sensibly.
says the GAGA fan… How many ALBUMS OF THE Millennium does your fave have. HER ARTPOP only actually meant one thing… FLOP FLOP FLOP!
Rihanna actually has no chance of winning a Grammy now. Wasn’t this supposed to be her Grammy album? Ahaaaahaaaa! Ahaaaaahaaaaaa! Yeah.
but if Frank’s gonna win, then sugar water won’t be AOTY womp.
btw has Justin Bieber ever received a NON FAN award?
Has Rihanna ever won a solo Grammy?
Has Lady Gag figured how to resurface to the top of the charts?
or is she still the biggest joke of the industry. HOW can you get bodied and destroyed by BASIC F****** PERRY. get out of my reply sections until your fave regains even a semblance of relevance.
ARTPOP – 1 Top10 HIT
Anti – THREE
ANTI- Six months in the top 10 of the B200
ARTPOP- 4
ANTI 2x PLAT
ARTPOP: N/A
further…. RIhanna got PAID to release Anti 25 million
Lady Gaga spent that to promote that flop ass album. GET OUT OF MY MENTIONS H O E
But shouldn’t you be worried about why Justin was grunting and groaning in that New York massage parlour? I wonder if those burly men who massaged him managed to rub some rhythm into those bones.
Baby, Ushers new album has been pushed back more times than Naomi’s hairline so the only one who should be worried is you! The gag is that he pushed Bieber’s career because he was banking on the industry embracing a white kid making R&b style music. Little did he know that the racist system he wanted to cash in on would work against him now that he is an ageing black man. Truth is, people would rather listen to Justin than Usher nowadays and it’s because Usher himself made it that way. #WhenTryingToCashInOnWhitePrivilegeBackfires
These comments are killing me, and y’all are delusional if you think for a second Adele is not going to win AOTY. Beyoncé is not making any moves with Lemonade. The album proved no longevity. No number one singles. Rihanna never stood or sat a chance. Frank won’t touch a Grammy this year either. There is absolutely no buzz around it. #factshavebeengiven
You’re lemonade is being honored at the VMAs and she’s putting on a BiG performance you tried that. She STILL has the best SELLING album this year so ….
No one is stupid but adele will not get album of the year at all. she will get some grammy’s tho. Adele 25 album didn’t score as high as Bey’s album amongst critics. Bey’s album scored the highest out of any one’s album this year. Even some of the grammy’s board members prefer bey’s album over 25 because of the artistry. It is truth that Adele’s album sold 8 million, but bey is killing with the formation tour and their looking at that. Beyoncé will def get album of year.
I swear this site should win an award for the comment section… How do you guys come up with this s**t ???
yes yes yes yes !!!!!!!!! ???
Katy sings live, has dope concepts and dances. How is she basic? Selena Gomez is basic not Katy. Rihanna isn’t basic but she is lazy but will never touch Katy so I’m howling at this dog of a Navi member calling Someone basic.
Selena’s basic yet has scored more top 10s than Beyonce this decade.
You think that chart positions mean anything in a streaming era? Darling, Selena is the most basic pop girl walking. She has no concepts, no performance style and has no charisma. She’s basically a sheltered child star with no real creative direction. Miley, as bad as she is, commits to ideas. Selena doesn’t have any to commit to and if she did she doesn’t have the talent or range to execute them.
This PIPING HOT TEA!! ?☕?☕?☕?☕
Selena gomez will never be in Bey’s league. have several seats.
DEATH!!! I see The Slavi is still seething over AUNTIE being paid dust at the store and all these music awards. Awww Beyoncé has their little minds on s****** watch 24/7. While Bey is busy rehearsing to embarrass fRih at thr VMA’S and planning a new set for her soon to be $300+ million grossing tour. The Slavi stay crying looking for justice for Auntie and her 500k sales after nearly 9 months ???!!!
The gag is that Beyonce can’t even crack the top ten in the uk singles chart anymore.
But she can still book a STADIUM and sell an album in the UK so that’s all that matters. Not that I really care for the UK’s charts lmao!
Australian Album Chart
Lemonade #9(16 weeks top ten)
Anti (left and never returned despite Global superstar)
UK
Lemonade #16 (13 Weeks Top 10)
Anti #37 (the Global superstar probably spent less than 10 weeks)
Belgium
Lemonade (7 Weeks Number One, longest since 21)
Not sure about the other local album.
Kiii a Beyonce TEAAAA!
Well it couldn’t be a Selena tea because she doesn’t have any ideas.
Tory lanez is way better than this over hyped trash anyway.
You don’t have the right to critique artists when your fav is as bland as saltless potato chips.
Where is JoyRide’s release date?
This is a reach with alligator arms !!!!!
Must be the same arms Beyonce used to reach out for that Oscar. #DreamGirls
No dear. You mean the arms Drake uses to apply his concealer before he spits a hot sixteen.
I swear these comments are laugh so hard.
The song he did with Beyonce on the album is so good. I swear that woman always finds new and interesting ways to basically get her point across vocally and creatively. She did the same thing leaving me puzzled with “Ghost”/”Haunted”
This is like the funniest TGJ post lol.
Everybody attacking eachother. Anyways we know who the standard is for comparison is & that the one & only king BEYONCE looool.
When will artist learn that teaming with Beyonce on a song will never get you a hit Beyonce cannot get her own off her album Beyonce taught him how to thief a mess
Unlike your fav Beyoncé can sell ALBUMS & not some forgettable singles ? Get ready to slated at the BeyMAs next week
*slayed
#BeyInspired
Ironic that CL’s song is called Lifted when it’s struggling to do that on the charts.
Charts? The song came out 3 days ago
Has FlopGa stopped pretending to be a ràpè victim now that Till It happens To You and Keisha’s case has died down and lost all media attention?
EYE AM SCREAMING AT THE DRAGGING @MENTALDISORDER IS RECEIVING!!! Not her fleeing the scene because she has no back up from her master’s aka the SLAVI BAWAHAHAHAHAHA Forever a spineless peasant! ????
You’re not black. Stop appropriating
Lmao the reach! What about my comment appropriates black culture?
He’s still recovering from his 15th eye surgery sis, so he’s not able to read at a collegiate capacity just yet, you’ll have to excuse him and his surgeon. Kii
🙁
QISSATWKXBZU ?????!!! BITXH!!! I MISSED YOU!!! WHERE THE FUXK YOU BEEN? ❤❤❤❤
I’m too busy making money fagggggot try it sometime
Yea… Bragging about spreading A I D S in the back alleys of Vegas isn’t something to brag about.
LMAOOOO THIS POST AND THE LAST FOUR HAVE BEEN A MESS. I’m CRINEEEE ?
*
Has bey joined azealea in the ashy skin campaign? Heard they were in talks for a deal
But aren’t you the one struggling and trying FERVENTLY to get European features, and the american “aesthetic” through surgery, sis? Don’t.
죄송합니다
Using subliminal racial slurs to degrade black woman yet you’re trying to come for me for “appropriating” black culture. Have several seats outside of FlopGa’s empty venues.
Where, trash?
If you can’t see how you used two woman of color and said they were in talks for the ashy skin campaign as a racial slur and a way of trying to drag. Their is no point in arguing with you.
It’s “There”.
And @LittleCreek, it IS a drag. The level of self hate to blæch…
What does skin bleaching have to do with ashy skin? You’re not black there for you should not be using “ashy” as a drag. You weren’t using it in a declarative statement which obviously begs the question of why are you using it?
smh
Why is this racially confused freshmen mentioning me? Shouldn’t you be studying sis?
I live
Oh dear, here we go. Another one who thinks cosigning over a kiii means real friendship. But then again, being alone in the wilderness must be lonely, hence why you seek company here.
Where did I say y’all were friends? Lol not you jumping to conclusions that my reservation is miles in the wilderness. The city is like literally a 20 min walk from my front door LMFAOOOO!!! I can actually see the sky scrapers from my living room window LOL!!! Bye Dang Wa, you can’t come for my living conditions when you stay lying out your ass about yours.
BUT WHERE THOUGH? I have only ever used a stan account here twice. 2013 as himeros, 2013 – 2014 wwe kelly kelly stan and 2015 as “CL says hello Bi+ches”.
My social media has also always been My real account with photos, location tweets and videos.
I’m one of thee most authentic people here. Now run along and avoid white vans!
LMFAOOOO THIS COMING FROM THE P***.PHILE THAT DOESN’T KNOW WHETHER HE’S BLACK OR WHITE? KIII THE SELF DRAG!!! I CANNOT!!!!
You have bison to heard, but yet you’re seeking attention on this blog?
Yawn! The days of hearding bison are long gone Dang Wa. (But leave it to a simple minded racists to think all tribes in the Americas hunted Bison ?) But we all know you still got Dogs to club to death for that daily meal and a penis enlargement surgery to book.
What? Leave it to you to make assumptions like that. Someone found your facebook and said you lived on a reserve. In some of the reserves there are bison, BètcH
Lol! No one found my FB that P***.hile @Centurion aka @Levels ran into me on a BB FB post and stalked me. Took my pics from FB and said I was suckable. We all know that sick fuxk was masturbating to my 15 year old looking photo’s. Because I clearly saw his 30 year old ass slumming in a aluminum shack in ghettos of Jamaica lmfaoooo!!! Not only are you racists but affiliate yourself with a disgusting p***.hile. Lmao reservations go beyond the middle west aka grasslands (where bison live).
These comment though ??????
You have bison to heard, but yet you’re seeking attention on this blog?
.
Oh MY!
You have bigger problems to worry about instead of me and Dang Wa’s little exchange. Worry about coming out the closest so you don’t have to beat your meat to Lukhas and the rest of the girls on Chatturbate. But do this quick sis before you get a hoeee knocked up and bring her into your spiraled staircase of confusion. ????
I use you Little Creek.
You’re not as psychotic as EL/Analise and not as attention seeking as Rihnavy. You can be the new Rosie
Yawwwnnnn. Don’t you have to hide rubbing alcohol from your dad so he won’t drink it? I can rub one off to whomever I like to. 😉
LMFAO! Come harder Marsha my dads actually a cheif that makes well over 100k a year and my mom runs our tribal government branch and makes well over 70k a year. ???!!! But I see why you’re still mad. Must suck being a self hating closeted faaaggg! ?
?????
Hahaha Sisqo’s impact!
WHen you want to standout be like Sisqo.The Dragon never dies.
Dyed hair: Check
Questionable sexuality: Check
Dance moves: NA
Vocals: NA
I guess…
I don’t see how hard to come up with your own ish. I know artist are going to cross each other lines at times because nothing is really new under the sun, BUT it shouldn’t be frame by frame the same. That’s why Madonna and Beyonce doesn’t get my respect. Sad because Beyonce is a great performer, or at least great at mimicing. Like the h03 even copied Ciara a few times, that’s sad.
How the K-Pop buy got FailBasic.

Lmfao these hoeees are so bothered look at them gather to try me ????!
.
The drag in all this, is that Marsha, Dang Wa and 6FeetUnder just showed their true color’s. Each one has no class and is a bully. If I was an actual 15 year old they all would still have no problem coming for me. They have no morals and are nothing more than a child adult that will pick on children. Makes sense they bully baby Blue Ivy.
Oh shut up. A Pest can’t take jokes alone? How sad, go do your homework and stay in a child’s place, grown ups are talking. *points to the kiddie table*
Lol using racial slurs toward someone is joking now? Lmfaooo! Awww you mad because you done clocked and dragged yourself?
No one used a racial slur, stop crying. You “clocked” me, yet still crying because K Pop boy played you?

Yawwwnnnn. Don’t you have to hide rubbing alcohol from your dad so he won’t drink it? I can rub one off to whomever I like to. ?
.
You were obviously implying that my dad’s an alcoholic, seeing as many Native American’s were once considered drunks.
.
Not you hiding behind Dang Wa. Where did Dang Wa play me? All he showed was incompetence and lack of understanding American culture, history and geography lmao!
Oh and i never said i clocked you I said YOU clocked and dragged yourself. Reading is key Marsha. You should try t sometime. ?
Wtf is a sisqo? & not the rihtarted navy coming for hailbeysus not when Matt fails to realize his picture literally scares people(how can you hate yourself so much) or Dana Carter is a dumb coward too scared of annalise & stays up for days composing boring drags
Or mark asking his so called girlfriend to use toys & dilddddo in his butttt bcos he is to scared to find a n**** to pound that bony a s s.
?????? TOO MUCH TRUTH AND TEA!!! I CAN’T TAKE IT ????????
I am DROWWWWNNNTING in the Tea! I missed you too boo!
Made another account bc your follwo pest left you stranded? How sad, you have to be a kid.
B**** I just wrote the obvious that you are a closeted f**** & suddenly am a fake account????
Sisqo is the first black male R&B singer to go blonde.His iconic look was swagger jacked by many.
Once again markfàg and houng wu have been dragged for filth!… These bitxhes dont ever get tired pf being scalped ehh??
trapcry is iconic! <3 that n****.
really crazy that they both came up with that. i dig both of the covers. im gonna check out the other guy’s music.
Anywho! I am happy that he finally dropped his album. thought his ass was lost .
Thieves of a flock, flock together. Didn’t lemon sap get hit with one too ?
https://youtu.be/nYHPGv5tf5s
Franks looks better tho yall mad?
team trapcry #blondeambition !!!!!
TrapCry TRIED it.. Anybody that knows Frank, knows his hair was colored that way years ago. Probably when he wrote the album. Peeps always tryna claim someone but off of them.. TrapCry isn’t even anywhere near Frank’s level. Nor will he be for that matter. *proceeds to Instagram to unfollow*
It seems like the Internet and media is making speculations, not TrapCry.
Mess
Didn’t know there were Frank Ocean listeners in the country
